- 1.A regular nonagon has 9 sides. Work out the sum of its interior angles.
- 2.In triangle ABC the angle at A and the angle at C are equal. The side AB is extended beyond B, and the exterior angle formed at B measures 98°. Work out the size of the angle at A.
- 3.Three angles lie on a straight line. They measure 38°, 95° and x°. Work out the value of x.
- 4.A straight line crosses two parallel lines. One of the angles formed is (2x + 10)°, and the angle alternate to it is 74°. Work out the value of x.
- 5.Four angles meet at a point. Three of them measure 82°, 105° and 96°. Work out the size of the fourth angle.
- 6.A conservatory has a roof panel shaped like a regular octagon. Work out the interior angle of the octagon, then use it to work out the size of the reflex angle at the same vertex, on the outside of the roof panel.
- 7.At a point on a straight line, two angles are formed. One of them is 63°. Work out the size of the other angle.
- 8.Which of these describes an obtuse angle?
- 9.An angle measures 108°. Write down the name given to an angle of this size.
- 10.The interior angles of a pentagon are 100°, 110°, 120°, x° and x°. Work out the size of each of the two angles marked x°.
- 11.A regular hexagon is divided into six identical triangles by joining its centre to each of the six vertices. Work out the size of the angle of one of these triangles at the centre of the hexagon.
- 12.The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 1980°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
- 13.Two of the angles in a triangle are 50° and 70°. Work out the size of the third angle.
- 14.Two identical ladders lean against the same vertical wall from opposite sides, each making an angle of 58.2° with the ground. The two ladders and the ground form a triangle. Work out the size of the angle between the two ladders at the top, where they meet.
- 15.A straight line crosses a pair of parallel lines. At one of the crossing points, one of the four angles measures 55°. Work out the size of the angle next to it on a straight line at that crossing point.
